    That's right..

    Now it could be viewed as the tables have turned with Pacman still going strong..

    I used to love watching them both.. it was never one or the other with me..

      Green sent there isn't alot of ways to deny Floyd as a ATG nor Pac for that matter.

        4.Mosley
        5.JMM

        How does it compare to other all time greats top 5? Especially when he beat them and the circumstances could put some asterisks on his resume.
        First of all lots of boxing fans and experts don't think Mayweather is one of the 5 best boxers in history or anywhere near that high. Second there is no agreement on who are the 5 best boxers in history, Most lists have Robinson, Armstrong and Ali top 5 but certainly not all lists. The other two boxers on the list might be any number of different boxers. How great a boxer is compared to other great boxers is opinion not provable fact. You don't list the 5 best fighters in history so there is no boxer to compare Mayweather to. Officially he beat many champions and won many titles and he is undefeated with no losses and no draws. So his record is perfect on paper. I don't have a list in order of the best fighters in history and I am not qualified to rate them all since I don't know them all well enough to rate them. I do know I don't rate Mayweather even close to being one of the 5 boxers in history and I have seen many other boxers I think were better than him.

          Name all the fighters that have wins over 3 top 3 P4P fighters at the time of fighting them.
          - -What grade U regressed to this year?

          Manny holds every Ring P4P record there is to hold and still extend those records.

          I'm guessing U never made it to jr high and currently in an online 3rd grade class. Do U really wanna be in 2nd grade next year?

          Whatevah!

              It is not only about resumes. Duran had 135 pro fights. RSR had 200 fights. Greb had 298 fights.

              Those guys were people`s fighters. They fought a lot, took many losses, but they didn`t care. And that is bigger than mayweather`s fake unbeaten record, comingbacks, beating MMA fighters in boxing matches, A - side techniques...

                  Nobody says Cotto win over Sergio makes Pac look fantastic. Nobody says what Hopkins did after losing to Calzaghe at 45 makes Calzaghe look better.
                  Floyd fans are literally the only fanboys in the universe who do it. So all of Floyd's wins who did nothing after losing to floyd are zero rated wins for floyd then? Guerrero, ssm, maidana, Ortiz, basically floyd s entire resume nearly

                      Nel o had beat no one when Floyd beat nel o with a cw, weakest version.
                      So moral of story is the more nel o wins the better it looks on nelos resume, not floyds.
                      No matter what nel o does here on in, Floyd always beat the weakest, greenest nelo. Nothing nel o does here on in will change that fact
